Southern Recipe for Kentucky Bourbon Sweet Potato Casserole

Southern Recipes

There’s nothing like a good ol’ Southern holiday feast. I grew up in Georgia and my mom was as Southern as sweet tea, growing up in Vicksburg, Mississippi. I have memories of collard greens, green bean casserole, pecan pies, pumpkin pies (with maple syrup) at every Thanksgiving and Christmas. And of course, drinking and football. It would be a sin to have a holiday without all that!

My favorite recipe by far – it wasn’t a holiday meal without it – was my mom’s Kentucky Bourbon Sweet Potato Casserole. For me, it was illegal to not have this during the holidays. My mom would carefully show me how to make it every time and as I grew older, I made it for her (and ok, poured a little more bourbon than was needed in there).

I share this recipe now to commemorate her for the upcoming holidays. She died suddenly on May 28 of this year. She was my best friend, biggest supporter and of course, my mother. She was also an amazing grandmother. I miss and love you mom!
